What is The Amber Project?

The Amber Project is a multi-agency partnership that seeks to enhance the response to child abuse linked to faith and belief (specifically ‘Abuse Linked to Witchcraft and Spirit Possession Accusations).

Delivery partners include specialists in ALWSPA from the Metropolitan Police Service, University of Chester and Barnardos National FGM Centre.

This free training webinar has been developed to clearly explain:

1. What is Abuse Linked to Witchcraft and Spirit Possession Accusations – including what are the factors and indicators?
2. How do we make better referrals relating to ALWSPA?

There is an explicit focus on those within the education sector within this webinar but those working within policing, social care and health are also welcome to attend. It is also of benefit to those who are from faith communities and communities working with families and children. These webinars are routinely attended by over 1000 participants. Previous events have been oversubscribed so please sign up early. The overarching aim is to increase awareness and reporting of this complex form of abuse and improve the multi-agency response when cases are identified.

Interpreter-mediated health and social care work

Without training practitioners often feel unprepared and unsupported to incorporate an interpreter into their work. Clients who need an interpreter may be expected to rely on family and friends until a practitioner can be found who is prepared to work with them. This training considers how to work collaboratively with interpreters; the nature and impact of the material on all three people in the interpreter-mediated triad; power dynamics in triadic relationships; contrasting models of practice and professional values; safety and safeguarding issues when working with an interpreter; ethical decision making and the unconscious pulls and pushes when working in a triadic relationship; working remotely/on the telephone.

Case material, films and research findings are used to help to develop together a list of tips for working effectively with interpreters in health and social care settings.

At the end of the session, it is hoped that practitioners feel more confident to engage in interpreter-mediated health and social care work.
